He owned it according to the post you quoted, he did not pass the buck. Can you explain to us how that is passing the buck? It’s passing the buck in the sense that it’s just empty words. What will they do to ensure it doesn’t happen again? It’s just passing the buck into the wind. If Beane would have just said, we made a terrible mistake and that it’s inexcusable and to hold himself accountable that would be great. Maybe he will have enough decency to resign and tell the fan base he failed to accomplish what he set out to do if they don’t win the super bowl this year. I respect that more than anything.

If there was a magic potion that would prevent all future errors, I’d suggest we all get some sent to our doors. NOBODY is perfect, and that certainly includes you. As for the bold, what do you suggest? Again, do you even read what you type? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day not winning Super Bowls has to fall on someone. How many years do Beane and McD get, honest question? Why aren’t we winning Super Bowls? Don’t tell me because football is hard, we no longer employee Jauron. Edited August 31, 2023 by Araiza Curse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beane and McD couldn't give less of a sh*t about your thoughts, and I think you understand that.

Bengals and Burrow is what the Bills and Allen should’ve been. Now they bully our fragile mindset. Congrats Cody!! Taylor and Anarumo gives them elite coaching on both sides and yes, I think systematically they're built to be much more physical than us. I would stop at that point. As an organization, they can't and never will be able to keep up. Brown just doesn't have the money. Not horribly off what we saw with Ralph. As money gets tighter, perks go away, and top down control increases. Edited August 31, 2023 by Mikie2times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 3 hours ago, Araiza Curse said: Closer than we’ve been lately. Maybe this year the Bills will show me something, hope so. Tired of being let down. It doesn’t matter, according to you. They are just losers. The NFL has 31 teams full of losers every year. I think you should share that message in person to each of those locker rooms. Giannis had a nice response when asked if the season was a loss since he didn’t win the NBA Championship this year. Maybe you could look that up and learn something from an actual professional athlete. Actual athletes find your take inane and offensive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ownership is a farce, their facilities are dreadful, they have a tiny personnel operation, they are renowned for treating their players poorly and they traditionally don't have a great track record of paying their guys They had a great 2020 draft, no question, hit it out of the park with their first 3 picks.... but when you pick at the very top of each round after being the worst team in the league it is definitely easier. They drafted Chase the next year too, well done them, and they have made some sensible FA signings. They are legitimately one of the best teams in football right now. But I question their organisational capacity to sustain that. Hitting a couple of home runs is easier than making sensible long term strategic decisions. Because I don't think they are where they are because they are well run, I think they are where they are despite being poorly run. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your signing bonus is $5 million...actually it's $4,995,000 because of the $5 for the stamp.

What ? lol this organization has been one of the bottom five run teams since it’s existence. Would anyone be surprised if they fuc**d up the Burrow contract, if there’s one team in the league Who could mismanage a contract for a no brainer player, it’s Mike Brown and the Bengals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Brown's frugality will be tested here real soon, with Higgins and Burrow due for monster deals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they will pay Joe but a week before the start of his 4th season they haven't. And that in itself is an example of what I mean. Look at the other guys in that top tier... they were all paid by now. But the Bengals gonna Bengal. And Brown isn't just frugal.... by NFL owner standards he is poor. The thing I can't see them doing with Burrow is converting salary to bonus year after year to create cap space. And that is what you have to do to remain long term competitive. Unless of course Joe is really gonna sign for 50% of market rate. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
